Number Lines Teacher Resources

Students participate in a unit that introduces them to solving problems that is introductory to algebra. They look at positive and negative numbers on the number line and practice solving problems using the distributive property.

In this math reasoning worksheet, students label a letter above a number line that goes from -15 to 15 for 25 problems. The letters spell out the answer to a riddle. This worksheet provides a clever way for students to think in terms of...

Class members investigate how positive and negative numbers are useful in the real world. Individuals first read a short passage and identify terms indicating positive and negative numbers. They consider situations involving positive...

Develop an understanding of positive and negative numbers using football. Pupils create a football field and game pieces. The teacher gives plays and the pupils move pieces to see who wins the game.

Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.

Individuals build on prior knowledge to order a set of rational numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least. As part of the lesson, they order rational numbers written in different forms.

The concept of absolute value can be difficult for learners to grasp. Reinforce their understanding of a basic absolute value expression and connect it to solving equations and inequalities. Scholars write two equations/inequalities to...

Guide young mathematicians through the crazy world of negative numbers with a handy reference document. Offering clear instructions for adding and subtracting positive and negative integers, this resource is a great way to...

Teach solving absolute value inequalities through inquiry. Groups use their knowledge of absolute value and solving inequalities to find a solution set to an absolute value inequality. Working collaboratively encourages discussion,...

Do pilots create appropriate spacing between aircraft by traveling a longer or shorter path? An interactive presents two airplanes that violate safety protocols. Pupils must determine how to change the path of one plane to create...

What do you do to change arrival times of airplanes when a different route is not available? The fifth interactive in a series of six presents problems where pupils must find solutions to conflicts of safety rules. They must decide how...

Check for understanding with a set of math assessments. Fifth graders answer questions involving multiplication and division, median and mode, rotational symmetry, and graphing.

Put the graph into graphing and allow learners to understand the concept of point plotting and how it relates to data. The worksheet provides a nice way to connect data analysis to a graph and make predictions. The worksheets within...

Like the cubs in A Fair Bear to Share, your 2nd grade class will practice adding and subtracting double-digit numbers by grouping, regrouping, and sorting a collection of objects. This requires many resources, but it is well worth the...

Brrrr it's cold in Alaska! When given the temperatures of Anchorage and Miami in the winter, your mathematicians will calculate how much warmer it is in Miami. Answer key provides two different solution choices. Great as a warm-up for...

Infuse your unit on fractions, decimals, and operations with a thorough module about rational numbers. With a teaching guide, learner examples, templates for instruction, and lesson rationale, the module is a solid way to...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

Use texts and dances to teach inequalities and equations. A sixth-grade unit covers using variables in equations and inequalities to solve problems. Learners show what they know at the end of the unit using two performance tasks, one...

Sixth and seventh graders solve and complete 8 different types of problems. First, they multiply and divide by signed numbers. Then, they rewrite any division as multiplication by the reciprocal. Pupils also work out the absolute value...

Young math whizzes write the opposite of the each integer in the first twelve problems. They write the absolute value for each integer in the second set of problems and name a pair of integers with the same absolute value.

Why does one person need 58 peaches; isn't that a bit excessive? This classic math dilemma offers pupils a chance to turn a word problem into an algebraic equation. Grade 6 Claim 1 Item Slide Shows includes this problem as part of a...

Lesson 16 in the series of 28 is a mid-module assessment. Learners simplify expressions, write and solve equations, and write and solve inequalities. Most questions begin as word problems adding a critical thinking component to the...

The ABCs of math are so important. Find commonly used math terms in a 42-page packet. Each page has the word, a place to write the definition, and a place to give specific examples of the term. A must-have for all math classrooms!

Don't use use a fraction of the resource — use it all! Scholars attempt a set of five problem-of-the-month challenges on fractions. Levels A and B focus on creating fractions and equivalent fractions, while Levels C, D, and E touch on...
